– There's been a ton of sad news lately, but here are two small things you can do: Forest Hill Funeral Home has registry books for thoughts, prayers and condolences that will be sent to the Sandy Hook families, and locally, a donation fund to benefit MPD Officer Martoiya Lang's family has been set up by the Bank of Bartlett.
– Put a candle in your margarita – venerable midtown Mexican restaurant Molly's La Casita is 30 years old.
– Welcome to Memphis, John Hollinger – he's moved from covering the NBA for espn.com to working for the Grizzlies.
